I was tempted to go for another s&n comic but i'm trying to be cool my budget. And trying to save for a couple of the upcoming Comicon exclusives. I've spent too much recently. I would donate to help the blog, but I'm not interested in buying more comics. Defiant1

But i've filled that collecting void with too much other crap too.

I wonder how many others have dropped DC & Marvel. In the 90's, this is what people did with comics altogether. They dropped comics and assumed that they were the only ones. They weren't. Defiant1

I haven't dropped DC and Marvel completely but I'm definitely picking up less than I use to. The only Marvel title I'm currently picking up is Winter Soldier. For DC, I'm picking up Action Comics and Batman. For the most part, I'm picking up IDW titles more than any other publisher. Image comes in second.

I want to go look at the sales charts again when I get a chance. I'm curious where the various titles are ranked.

I used to buy all DC/Vertigo and some Marvel nonstop since '87. I basically quit DC and the new 52 by the fourth issues. Got too overwhelming. Kind of a relief to not want to buy them anymore. ;D Now i'm just keeping it to a few of my niche books and some Image.

From the pics posted on the VCS, I thought they were being shipped weeks ago.

It's kind of funny how they ask to be paid and yet it hasn't mailed it out yet. Now I know why some people don't go for forum projects at all. If it wasn't for Shooter's name on it, I would have bailed on it. It's too bad the illustratedmedia site doesn't have an online store. Giving these books to fan websites causes a 3 year delay. I'll even settle for an email of the PDFs of Seven #2 during the wait. No need to ship a CD of it.

All I wanted was the comic (preferably unsigned), and I got a copy. It's signed, but some would consider that a bonus. I might appreciate a signature as a rememberance of meeting him... but I haven't met him... so it's not something that means something special to me. Defiant1

Now the new delay has to do with "printing the CDs". I don't understand why they don't ship the books out to people and the delayed extras later. Just seems like one excuse after the other. So why not refund people till it's all 100% percent ready? That's a good motivator.

I'm getting a bit tired of waiting, myself. On the Unity Hardcover project, I'd committed to buying 2 leather bound copies. When I committed, I had plenty of extra funds to pay for it. They delay was absurd and after 2 months of financial catastrophe, Ryan announces that it's time to pay for the project. He could not have picked a worst time to ask me for money. At that point I vowed not to participate in any projects unless I could pay in advance. I don't like lingering bills popping up On this one, I paid in advance and he agreed to send the books without the extras. I told him could wait on the extras. Well, I've waited and then he still asked for more money. Ryan's a good guy, but I'd rather manage and plan out my own money without having any lingering obligations or promises to him. I don't plan on participating in any future projects. I had already decided that I wasn't going to buy the Unity 2000 HC. I don't expect it to be completed before 2020. I also expect someone to be sued if it is released. Defiant1

There's a "Seven" update on the VCS thread now. Yea, I remember the first Unity hardcover project was a mission for me to get a copy of. I ended up getting one from another buyer who listed his on ebay.

Did you guys get anything in the mail this week? I got the Seven #1 with a CD. Didn't get the Seven #2 printouts though. The CD has the Seven #2 comic in PDF...28 pages worth of story and art....no cover art. Curious to see what the fans think of the artwork. The regular comic was just signed with the 2 names and no numbers added on the cover. The CD has a couple scripts and an outline of the 7 series.

JayJay said they still hadn't shipped these as of last week... except one. She explained the problems they were having and apologized. I won't elaborate. I think that all anyone cares about is when they get it... not the reasons for excessive delay.

Still waiting. I haven't been on the board to complain because it sounds like she's having a ton of problems and I'd hate to sound like an uncompassionate jerk.

I can't complain because I do have the comic and I never cared about the extras. Valiantfans started all the never ending stream of projects and I think they contribute to my dislike for manufactured collectibles. I'd like ro see Hardcovers rather than signatures.

Yeah. I'd rather have a nice copy of the actual book instead of waiting on someone to sign it. I don't care too much about the extras. I just want the book itself.

In the back of my mind, I keep wondering if someone behind the scenes had a complaint about it being sold. I know Brother J jumped through hoops only to have a deal fall through.

That would be a shame if the delay was something along those lines. I feel like the VCS projects are overly enthusiastic and ignore the legal ramifications. VEI could really cause everyone grief if the Unity 2K project gets published. VEI may have problems with content unrelated to their relaunch being published. It was discovered that the person who posted that he got approval from VEI most likely lied about getting approval. The Seven project involves giving away copyrighted material in electronic form. This stuff belongs to their respective owners. It seems harmless, but the owners may not see it that way. Denise Wohl wanted to promote Kaballah for kids, not print hot collectibles for the comic book market. These are hugely different ambitions. Defiant1

This book is just signed by 2 people (Shooter & Wiacek). I thought JayJay was going to sign it. Wouldn't have minded her sig on it along with the other 2. The "numbered" part from the sign up list wasn't even on the cover so asking for a specific number didn't turn out to be a big deal I think. My number was just on the certificate which is signed by 2 website forum guys who I have no idea what they did exactly in creating the actual comic. ;D Would be cool if they unearth the "Preview" copies of issue #2 though.
